We have 2 servers and some Windows mobile devices. The 'FTP' server contains a shared folder where sound files are uploaded. The 'PDA' server is running an IIS7 'WebServices' site that the PDAs use to download from the 'FTP' server. We use IIS7 anonymous authentication and have given the 'IUSR' account read priviledges on the shared folder. The 'WebServices' site contains the correct UNC for the sound files location, and the files do exist there. However, the 'WebServices' does not seem able to find the files.
Our original thinking was that the IUSR account was being localised in the manner 'IUSR_machinename' and this was causing problems with the cross-server account synchronisation. We made a new user account but since discovered IIS7 no longer localises the IUSR account in this way and reverted back to IUSR.
I was considering adding the element to the web.config file but the default values seem to be correct (enabled=true, logonMethod=ClearText, username=IUSR). Will the 'WebServices' site require the element despite the defaults appearing to be the desired values?
